These modern cabins are super nice, and are right downtown within walking distance of the river, a great local cofee shop, and all of the shops and restaurants along with the hot springs. There is a nice covered patio at the property as well as a gas fire pit with chairs in the courtyard between the cabins. Loved our stay here and would definitely stay again.

Cute collection of 14 (excludes the number 13) cabins right on the San Juan River Walk Trail. We were able to watch the hot air balloons right from the patio! The cabins are very clean, beds are comfortable, and my kids loved the bunks! Conveniences include pedal bikes, a communal gas grill and fire pit. The hot springs are within throwing distance and pretty much everything is a short walk. We plan on returning and would recommend this to anyone!

Best in Pagosa Springs for the $$
It was an overnight stay but we’ll definitely come back for a longer stay! The location is perfect; near downtown and walking trail alongside the river and near the natural hot springs! The unit is beautiful and clean and just right amenities (kitchenette, large shower, spacious, and comfy bed! The only addition I would recommend is 2 comfy chairs on wheels to roll where needed!

We stayed in several properties during our trip, but this place was our favorite. Contactless-management sends you a code via text to get in to your cabin. The area was clean. They had a grilling area and fire pit area. Very nice place. I highly recommend.
